Back when Forrest Weber first interviewed with the Nets on Dec. 3, 2014 — yes, he can recall the day — he told them he wasn’t going to offer up on his acting dreams.
A decade later, when Weber landed a job on eventual Netflix hit “Black Rabbit” and his agent said he could quit that Nets gig, he replied, “But I like my day job, too.”
Now, Weber — a longtime member of the Nets’ basketball operations and equipment staff — is having fun with one surreal scene after one other pinch-me moment. It’s a crazy confluence of his dual skilled lives — athletic and artistic — that looks like madness, even to the person living it.
Filming for the show has happened at Barclays Center, with neither employer knowing about Weber’s other hustle. And now that the show is a streaming hit, Weber has been highlighted on the world jumbotron’s “Who’s In The House” segment in the course of the Nets’ tilt against the Pistons.
